Billboard looks back and counts down the top five songs that ruled the summer of 2016.

Rania Aniftos:
Hello, 2016! It was a hot one, and the music was just as sizzling. 2016 saw some bangers from Justin Timberlake, Sia and Calvin Harris. Let’s jump in with the No. 5 song belonging to the DJ of the moment, Calvin Harris. “This Is What You Came For” featuring Rihanna kicks us off at No. 5.

Our favorite mysterious songstress comes in at No. 4. Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” featuring Sean Paul is next on our top 100 songs of 2016.

The Chainsmokers burst onto the summer scene with their huge hit “Don’t Let me Down” featuring Daya to claim the No. 3 spot.

Justin Timberlake had a summer smash on his hands with the No. 2 song, “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” from the massive summer blockbuster Trolls.

And finally, the song you had stuck in your head all summer long. The No. 1 song of 2016 belongs to Drake and “One Dance” featuring Wizkid and Kyla.

More fun in the sun when we dive into 2017 next week.
